Drive-By Truckers - Mrs Dubose lyrics

Jupiter mules oh, the kickin' out all the stops Newfangled dogs danglin' stars from her eyelids She can't read between the lies anymore Lord, help her rise just one more time if you can So still the children read to her till she opens up her hands When my body dies will you remember my name? When my body dies will you remember my name? Oh, Mrs. Dubose you were such a flower There you're all dead inside, so withered and insane Oh, Mrs. Dubose you were such a flower You got the d**h, the dust and the opium runnin' through Runnin' through, run through your veins So black maid stays 'cause she's paid to be around Condemned and scared for all she knows So you better look at the road when you pa** She gonna fix you with that evil eye Unless you're holdin' your old man's hand You better pa** on by, you better pa** on by When my body dies will you remember my name? Lord, when my body dies will you remember my name? Oh, Mrs. Dubose you were such a flower There you're all dead inside, so withered and insane So, oh, Mrs. Dubose, yeah, you were such a flower You got the d**h, the dust and the opium runnin' through Runnin' through your veins
